medicine is a business....and doctors get gifts lets say...to prescribe a medicine.
no doctor is going to say you should smoke weed...
like labrat said...no business there,
they rather get you addicted to chem. drugs

Never go to the doctors for depression. Their answer is mind altering, soul destroying, very profitable drugs. Drugs which will consume the rest of your half zombied life.

I've been through he'll and back mentally, numerous times throughout my life.
Suicide attempts, dead mates, dead kids, it's been a rough one to put it nicely.

Best thing for it is the simple shit.
Change your diet.
Excersise more.
Go to work.
Stop drinking as much.
Get out more, clean air and sunshine do amazing things for your mental state.
And maybe most importantly, Figure out specifically what's bothering you.
You might be able to change it or just drop it from your life completely.

When shit stresses me out I now ask myself one simple question.
"Can I fix it?"
If I can, I'll go fix it.
If I can't, fuck it. Who cares. Nothing I can do about it so I'll just forget about it until it pops up again then repeat step 1.
Iether way my day continues stress free... Mostly lol.
